ExGov. Hngood, in an interview
with the News and Courier, gives his
opinion rs to how the labor of the

Burtiett's Advice to Young
Men.

Toyoung men Bob..Burdette says:
"You take basin of water, place
your finger i'll it for twenty-five or
thirty seconds, take it out and look at
the hole that is left. The size of
the hole represents about the inn
preston that advice makes on young
mans mind.
Don't depend too much on your
farnily-the dead part l mean. The
worldwants live men; it has no use
for dead ones; Queen Victoria can
trace her ancestors back in q direct
line to William the Conquerer. If
you cannot get further back than
your father, you are better off. He
was better off than old William. He
had better clothes to wear, better food
to eat, and was better housed.
If you are diamond, be sure that
you will be found. Cheek, brass or
gall never gets ahead of merit.
/ love q man who is straitfor-
ward. If you want to marry q rich
mans daughter or borrow $500 from
him, ask him for it; it amounts to the
same thing in the Eend. 1t is always
better to astonish a man than to bore
him
Remember that in the morning OF
life comes the hard-working days
Hard work never kills q man. It's
fun, recreation, relaxation, holidays,
that kill. The fun that results in II
head the next morning so big that a
hat could hardly cover it, is what
kills. Hard work never does.
ThOs who come after us have to
work just as hard as we do When I
shovel the snow off my sidewalk, if
perchanoe l take q three quarter
piece of my neighbours walk, l put it
back, because if I didn't 1 would be
doing him an injustice. You can't
afford to do anything but what is
good. You are on dress parade al
the time. Don't be afraid of being
called crank. If you have one ides
you have more than most of men have
1t takes a smart man to be crank
